| Verbatim Advisory Group tells
you what middle management and channel executives are saying about their company's performance. That's the edge you need for investment decisions.
Traditional research tools such as government statistics, industry
publications and other syndicated data are widely distributed and
are therefore unlikely to give you a jump on the street. CEO/CFO
interviews and expert panels typically shed light on the business
drivers at a company or within an industry, but don’t yield
the kind of real-time performance data that predicts stock price
movement.
In contrast, Verbatim Advisory Group conducts multiple interviews
with managers at target firms, their business partners, and competitors.
These interviews answer specific questions that will drive an investment
decision. Moving beyond general company knowledge, our clients
need to know how a specific event or trend is perceived by numerous
middle managers and channel executives within a set of companies.
| “I
turn to Verbatim when I have analyzed all the available data
and need one last question answered before making an investment
decision.” – Hedge Fund Manager |

October 14, 2007 – VERBATIM ADDS 13th LANGUAGE TO ITS GLOBAL CAPABILITIES.
To fulfill client requests to investigate non-US markets, Verbatim added staff so that investigations in Swedish
and Dutch are now available to clients. Verbatim has already offered programs in Chinese, Japanese, French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czech, Portuguese, and other languages. "I know how my company is doing in the United States,"
mentioned a Portfolio Manager, "And now I can understand what's happening overseas." With investors increasingly focused
on growth outside of the U.S., investors have been seeking better ways to understand these regions. The Swedish snus market
and Netherlands GPS market have been among those recently investigated using this new language capability. Many Verbatim
investigations encompass several languages, such as a recent investigation that involved interviews into Germany, France,
UK, India, and China. Verbatim conducts most of its non-English interviews from its London and Tokyo offices.

June 21, 2006 – IMPROVED ACCURACY TRENDS AMONG VERBATIM'S FINDINGS.
A study released today shows continued improvement in the accuracy of Verbatim's estimates of
corporate performance. The study compared the accuracy of 46 estimates made between September
'05 and May '06 with the accuracy of 63 estimates made in the previous nine months. For the
more recent period, the variance between the Verbatim estimate and actual reported sales narrowed
by an average of 105 basis points. This increase in accuracy stems primarily from changes made to
Verbatim's interview methodologies, bias adjustments, and detection of reliable contacts. |
